A massive response follows from the crowd: “Rodriguez!” “James!” “Rodriguez!” “James!” “Rodriguez!” Bayern 15/2 to win Champions League The atmosphere feels a bit like the Allianz Arena, but in actuality we are inside Summers Restaurant in Arlington, Va. Though we’re more than 4,000 miles away, coming to Summers for Bayern matches is just about as close as you can get to the Allianz without buying a ticket.

Why Alexis wants to leave Arsenal Kroos opted against renewing his contract at the Allianz Arena as he did not feel appreciated, prompting Bayern to cash in on the Germany international to prevent him from leaving on a free at the end of his deal. The 27-year-old has since developed into a key figure at Madrid and Matthaus thinks Bayern should be regretting their decision to let Kroos leave....

Muller’s 79th-minute effort proved enough for Bayern to claim all three points from a dramatic encounter, with goalkeeper Sven Ulreich pulling off a stoppage-time penalty save to deny his former a club a share of the spoils. The victory puts Bayern further into the distance at the Bundesliga summit heading into the mid-season break, with the DFB-Pokal third-round clash with Borussia Dortmund their final match of 2017. And Muller, who replaced Corentin Tolisso in the 65th minute, says the triumph displayed Bayern’s grit under Jupp Heynckes....

Baylor defeated North Carolina, Indiana, Oregon and Nebraska along the way as well....

Bennett did just that when asked about his time in the organization in a profile for Chicago Magazine, offering a critical take on quarterback Jay Cutler’s leadership ability. MORE: Bears’ worst first-round NFL Draft picks Cutler is often criticized for his leadership skills. Bennett said Cutler being the quarterback doesn’t make him the team’s de facto leader. “Why does everyone always assume the quarterback is the leader?” he said. “Leading the offense and leading the team are two different things....

The veteran running back was a no-show for the start of the voluntary offseason workout program, The Chicago Tribune reported Monday. Sources told the Tribune that Forte made it known he wouldn’t be there, but it raises concerns of whether the eighth-year back is looking for an extension before going into the final year of a four-year, $30.4 million deal he signed in 2012. He’s set to make $8.2 million in 2015....

Jay Cutler (sprained thumb) is listed as day-to-day on the team’s injury report, but the Bears on Thursday announced that they’ve elevated QB Matt Barkley from the practice squad to the active roster. It appears Barkley will back up Hoyer, who says whether he starts or not doesn’t affect how he prepares each week. “I think I’ve said it before: Whether you’re the starter, the backup or the third guys, you prepare every week like you’re the starter,” Hoyer said (via ESPN....

One source reportedly said the Bears hope to get a mid-round pick in exchange for the 30-year-old receiver, a clear drop from the two third-round picks Chicago gave the Dolphins for Marshall in 2012.

The Rams sacked Foles four times and kept the 2018 Super Bowl MVP under pressure all night long, forcing a pair of interceptions in the second half. The first interception came in the end zone on an incredible play by Troy Hill to tip the ball to teammate Taylor Rapp....

All three have played the game at some point growing up, with Brooklyn spending time within the academy system at Arsenal. None, however, have taken to the sport like their iconic father did, with Beckham having enjoyed a glittering playing career, which also took in spells with the LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. The former England captain had been hoping to see at least one member of his brood follow in his footsteps, with his hopes now pinned on daughter Harper – who has shown a passion for football....

Now 76, she continues to run her home for abused children, and the only photographs of herself she permits are snapshots with Norma’s Kids. But the real Marilyn Monroe (now there’s an oxymoron for you) belongs ineradicably to the post-World War II world, like the H-bomb and the tail fin. Starting in 1945, when she was 19 and unknown, a photographer named Andre de Dienes took thousands of pictures of her; many–including these in this issue of NEWSWEEK–have rarely been seen by anyone....

Purposes Bed alarms are typically used for a couple of different reasons, but the basic idea is that an alarm sounds when someone is trying to get out or does get out of his bed.

Seaman Second Class Lawrence P. Berra was on a rocket boat stationed off the coast of Normandy on June 6, 1944, barely three weeks after his 19th birthday.

Veterans of the diaper wars know that environmental costs aren’t always what they seem. But if we learned anything from that endless debate, it is that to determine a product’s impacts you must include all of them—power to run the washer and dryer for cloth diapers, not just the landfill impact of disposables, for instance. (Cloth comes out only a little bit ahead; it’s a clear winner if you run your appliances on sun or wind....
